Download or read book Rethinking Corporatization and Public Services in the Global South written by David A. McDonald and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-04-10 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After three decades of privatization and anti-state rhetoric, government ownership and public management are back in vogue. This book explores this rapidly growing trend towards ‘corporatization’ - public enterprises owned and operated by the state, with varying degrees of autonomy. If sometimes driven by neoliberal agendas, there exist examples of corporatization that could herald a brighter future for equity-oriented public services. Drawing on original case studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America, this book critically examines the histories, structures, ideologies and social impacts of corporatization in the water and electricity sectors, interrogating the extent to which it can move beyond commercial goals to deliver progressive public services. The first collection of its kind, Rethinking Corporatization and Public Services in the Global South offers rich empirical insight and theoretical depth into what has become one of the most important public policy shifts for essential services in the global South.

Download or read book Health impacts of small reservoirs in Burkina Faso written by Eline Boelee and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Burkina Faso, at least 1,700 small reservoirs have been constructed, most of them during the last 30 years. Numerous and scattered, these beneficial multipurpose systems combine productive with domestic water uses. However, their environmental and health impacts remain insufficiently documented. This report combines data from different sources into syntheses and national maps, with a focus on water-related diseases. The mitigation of negative impacts requires an integrated approach to specifically identify the enhancing and limiting factors that influence environmental impacts and the transmission of diseases around reservoirs. Public awareness campaigns need to accompany the promotion of preventive and curative measures and the development of alternative water sources for domestic supply.
Download or read book Private irrigation in Sub Saharan Africa regional Seminar on Private Sector Participation and Irrigation Expansion in Sub Saharan Africa Accra Ghana 22 26 October 2001 written by Hilmy Sally and published by IWMI. This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only 4 percent of arable land in sub-Saharan Africa is irrigated, using just 2 percent of the available water resources. Furthermore, 18 percent of the area equipped for irrigation is not utilized at all and the intensity of use varies between 50 percent and 80 percent. This highlights the huge potential available for intensifying and expanding irrigated area, provided that the investments required can be successfully mobilized. However, it must be noted that if investments in irrigation are to yield satisfactory returns, investments must also be made in a series of related activities. Current global figures for the amount of private investment in irrigation confirm that good returns can indeed be achieved. Prospects for sub-Saharan Africa would be far more favorable if public development assistance, particularly foreign direct investments, did not show declining trends.

Download or read book The role of livestock in food security poverty reduction and wealth creation in West Africa written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2020-07-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the objective of gaining a better insight into the challenges and opportunities of the livestock sub-sector in West Africa, FAO has conducted several studies and held various workshops in recent years. The outcomes of these studies and workshops conducted between 2009 and 2014 were published and distributed as hard copy reports and disseminated as on-line publications. These reports included topics such as value chains, cross-border transhumance, animal feed resources, priority animal diseases, among others, were informative in their own right. Still, the fact that they targeted specific areas of livestock in a fragmented manner did not address the need of readers whose wish was to have a comprehensive understanding of the livestock sector in West Africa. It is in response to this demand for a comprehensive outlook of the West African Livestock sub-sector that different reports and studies have been compiled into this one book. The book has twelve chapters, covering almost all aspects of livestock in the region. Attempts were made to enrich the information provided by including eight short case studies focusing on different aspects of the livestock sub-sector in West Africa. The book attempts to fill the gap of a need for comprehensive information on the potential, performance, challenges, and prospects of the livestock sub-sector in West Africa.

Download or read book ducation violences conflits et perspectives de paix en Afrique subsaharienne written by and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2009 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phénomène universel, la violence en milieu scolaire n'épargne pas l'Afrique et y demeure encore très peu documentée. Par ailleurs, rares sont les pays d'Afrique subsaharienne qui n'ont pas connu de conflits armés, souvent d'envergure régionale. Leurs effets immédiats : la destruction - partielle ou totale - des systèmes éducatifs et la mobilisation de jeunes devenus enfants-soldats entravent l'Éducation Pour Tous (EPT). Cet ouvrage interroge la dynamique éducative de sociétés africaines dans trois contextes. En situation de paix : quelles formes de violences l'Éducation et l'école sécrètent-elles en temps de paix ? Quels en sont les sources et les soubassements ? Peuvent-elles être enrayées, sinon réduites ? Pendant les conflits : quelles sont les voies de la " politisation " de l'éducation ? Quelles sont les conséquences immédiates et à long terme des conflits sur l'éducation ? L'offre de service éducatif répond-elle à la spécificité des besoins des personnes déplacées, rapatriées ou réfugiées ? Enfin, après les conflits, l'éducation peut-elle participer à la reconstruction d'un pays et à la pacification des esprits ? Comment fonder les programmes d'éducation à la paix ? Les contributions rassemblées, études de cas (Côte d'Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Niger, Zimbabwe, Cameroun, Congo et République Démocratique du Congo) et recherches prospectives, invitent à réfléchir aux interrelations, possibles ou avérées, entre l'éducation, les violences, les conflits et les perspectives de paix. En définitive, l'ouvrage tente de cerner les dynamiques sociales et politiques qui - avant, pendant et après les conflits - corroborent aux fragiles devenirs de l'éducation en Afrique.

Download or read book Water Harvesting in Sub Saharan Africa written by William Critchley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-01-04 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa is constrained by highly variable rainfall, frequent drought and low water productivity. There is an urgent need, heightened by climate change, for appropriate technologies to address this problem through managing and increasing the quantity of water on farmers’ fields – water harvesting. This book defines water harvesting as a set of approaches which occupy an intermediate position along the water-management spectrum extending from in situ moisture conservation to irrigated agriculture. They generally comprise small-scale systems that induce, collect, store and make use of local surface runoff for agriculture. The authors review development experience and set out the state of the art of water harvesting for crop production and other benefits in Sub-Saharan Africa. This includes an assessment of water harvesting schemes that were initiated two or three decades ago when interest was stimulated by the droughts of the 1970s and 1980s. These provide lessons to promote sustainable development of dryland agriculture in the face of changing environmental conditions. Case studies from eight countries across Sub-Saharan Africa provide the evidence base. Each follows a similar format and is based on assessments conducted in collaboration with in-country partners, with a focus on attempts to promote adoption of water harvesting, both horizontally (spread) and vertically (institutionalization). Introductory cross-cutting chapters as well as an analytical conclusion are also included.
